“The well-being of those
inside our cars is just as important as the well-being of those outside our
vehicles,” said Rob Warren, director, and chief marketing manager, Nissan
North America. “AEB with Pedestrian Detection is announced as standard or
available on 10 Nissan vehicles for the 2020 model year, and we’re working on
expanding the technology further as quickly as possible.”

The Nissan
Maxima, model years 2019 and 2020, earned a “superior” rating in front
crash prevention systems from the IIHS, due in part to its standard offering of
Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection.

“Carmakers often roll out
these kinds of advanced systems in more expensive luxury lines or as expensive
options, so the superior performance of the standard systems on the more
mainstream Maxima is noteworthy,” said IIHS President David Harkey.

The AEB with Pedestrian Detection
from Nissan combines cameras and radar to monitor pedestrians close to the
vehicle and checks the activity of vehicles close to you.
